I've been in hiding! ;-)

Yes ... I am still in recovery after my Easter morning trauma. Yes ... it is the talk in this remote corner of the planet. And yes ... I have been in hiding, which is of course impossible when you live and work in a very small town that has no road! ;-) Mr. DillyDally abandoned me (wink!) in my embarrassment and flew to the midwest to visit our children and his parents...so I am facing the humiliation all alone! In my free time, I have stayed close to home (hiding) and done a bit of dillydallying.

Last weekend, our guild's special interest group, "The Niemeyer Crazies" met and worked on one or more of her patterns. You can read about it here, at the guild's blog. QBee Valerie and I are doing the Seasonal Table Runner. At the meeting, I was able to cut out and organize it.

I have soooo many projects in progress ... many with deadlines ... that my plan is to work on this only during our meetings. But ... I couldn't stand it ... I had to piece at least one unit! Just to be sure I remembered her techniques! ;-)

I made some progress on Sister DillyDally's sweater. The front is done ... and this, the back of the bodice, is nearly done!

This quilt, made entirely with scrap leftovers, came home from one of our local long arm quilters this week. I had her use a wool batting ... OMGosh ... the batting is as wonderful as I anticipated it would be. I'm already looking forward to my first nap under this quilt! Yes ... napping is an important part of the dillydally lifestyle! I hope your week was filled with dillydallying as well ... minus the hiding! ;-)

The Dilly-Dally Lifestyle

You know you're a dillydallier when...

...You dillydally at least a little or nearly everyday....You only work on what feels good at the moment....You begin new projects on a whim....You only complete projects when there is the urge to do so....You continuously add to your current fabric, yarn, kit and/or pattern collections....You spend time dillydallying with those who understand the dillydally lifestyle....You actively recruit and encourage others to adopt the principles of dillydallying....You no longer associate guilt with dillydallying.

If you practice any of these characteristics you are on your way to enjoying the Dillydally Life! Congratulations!

About Me

During a 6 month period of time in 2006-07, I experienced three life changing events. In re-evaluating my life, I developed and adopted the "dillydally lifestyle" that this blog represents. Enjoy and join in!
